Surf Day at Santa Cruz

SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 2008

The Road Crew Men's Breakfast took a field trip to Santa Cruz for an awesome learn-to-surf day with former Pro Surfer Bryan Jennings and Men's Ministry Director Mark Campbell. Men young and old put on wetsuits, grabbed their boards, and hit the waves (often quite literally). Lots of dads brought their sons and daughters, too. The weather was warm, the waves were amazing, and it was a day we'll never forget!!

Men @ Neighborhood Church

It's a challenging time in American culture to be a man!

It's a thrilling time in American culture to be a man of God; free, Spirit filled, and "becoming" all God wants us to "become" as His sons.

One of the most awesome things in this life to experience is when men come together who are free in Christ, living the life we were intended to live, and enjoying our families, jobs, various callings and gifts as we build the Kingdom of God together. None of us are completely there or "done yet," but that's what we are all striving to be; free in Christ, purposed in life and at the end of the race, wanting to hear those beautiful words from the Father - well done, good and faithful servant!

DAWN PATROL. Men acting like "men" studying the Bible together, praying together, encouraging one another, eating and laughing together at 6 AM every Wednesday morning in D-3.
